Verity and Yaxley
"Immobulus!" Yelping, Verity swept her wand out, freezing the rope midair where they hung for a moment before dropping to the floor. By the time they hit the stone, she'd darted away again, weaving around him.
She was hesitating, not wanting to hurt the man, which a part of her knew was stupid. He was trying to kill her. And she was reluctant to hurt him?! That was the difference between them, though, and why she was here tonight, to keep people like him from controlling the future.
Raising her wand, Verity twirled it towards the man, ducking as he raised his own. "Duro!" She cast, knowing even as she did so, that she was going to miss as she darted away from him.
